So this hyperflex thing is what your using?

The s13 has more bushings then the s14. Anyone notice that?? My question was what bushings are a must and want bushings could i not install if time was tight??

UPs great feel, super cornering, almost 0% energy loss in suspension, fwd-less wheel hopDOWNsfeel every freaking thing on the road, loads of time involved, increased road noise, and they eventually break/crack

but thats just me, and im a lazy bastard


and normal ones don't crack or break? Is it becuase they are urethane?

Want to feel a car with blown shocks and springs? that would be me :pface

normal ones DO crack/break/rot out. its just my experience that the urethane bushings do it faster, because they are so hard.its all totally dependent on the enviroment you drive in though

so are urethane bushings even worth going through the trouble if you live in a dry state

I got my bushings and short throw from them, and when one of my bushings tore during the install I asked them during the short throw purchase to toss in a replacement for the ripped bushing and they did it for free! They also sent me candy! Canadian m&m's or as they call them, smarties!


yea i got candy from them once also. and when u make a big order like i did once they give you a nice black & grey Nissan carrying case. anyway i got all the bushings from PDM and they are sort of a pain to install but they look cool. i cant really give a review on them tho cuz i did a bunch of other suspension upgrades at the same time as installing these. car does handle nice tho

wingzer, its not so much the dry weather in texas, its the searing heat, and the horrible paved sufaces we have here. bumpy as a gator's bum. they were definitely worth it on my fwd, but my old ae86 crapped out b/c all the other suspension parts were weak. the increased stress caused a mess of crap.

who here thinks i should give up the 240 and get another ae86?
